Open Door Healing

Today’s musings were prompted by a blog post written by “A Day in the Life of a Latvian Mom” and how she was letting go of a project that she realized she no longer had time for, and it will now help make someone else’s life a little easier. Letting go seems to be the flavor of the day. I’ve not been really good at it througout my life. As I learn to do so, I see that letting go allows for the space to be filled with something better. I guess it is the emptiness between the old and the new is what is uncomfortable for me. I am learning to sit into the space of in- between and receive its gifts. Slowing down, looking at dreams in a different way, knowing that some will never come to fruition, some I am happy that will not come true, and also looking as to why I wanted them in the first place. In my FB memories this morning I had posted about 10 years ago pictures of some Gypsy Vanner horses and made the statement that someday I would have one. I can let go of that dream now. Yes, I still love horses, and have had many, however, I realize they are not a part of my dream or life anymore. I am not saying they will not ever be, maybe I will move to the mountains and live on a ranch (someone else’s!) and they will have beautiful horses that I can enjoy without all the work involved. Ooh, that sounds like another blog! Having things but not the work involved. Releasing my dreams that no longer hold much interest for me anymore, releasing the energy I have put into them, allows me to use that energy for what I really do want to focus on. This to me is the gift of “in-between”. Clarity. Deep Breaths. Flow.

Blessings.
